The end of both Iberian Dictatorships, the New State in Portugal and Francoism is Spain, distanced more or less a year and a half. During this period, while Spain discussed a way out of Francoism, Portugal embarked on a Revolutionary journey searching for a Portuguese path towards Socialism, whose driving force was the Armed Forces’ Movement. The aim of the present dissertation is to understand how late-Francoist press dealt with this Portuguese Revolutionary process that followed the overthrown of the Portuguese Dictatorship and also how this process served as mediation to negotiate Spain’s internal tensions.
